The Time and Eternity1

By Werner Gitt

Book Overview

Throughout the centuries, people from diverse cultures, circumstances and points of view have wrestled with the concept of time. In the 5th Century St. Augustine said, What is time? If no one asks me, I know; but if any person should require me to tell him, I cannot. Time magazine said as the last century closed, While scientists have harnessed the power of the atom, cracked the genetic code and probed the very edges of the universe, they still don't understand time much better than St. Augustine did. Here the author leads a though-provoking discussion that begins in time, ends in eternity, and focuses continually on the Eternal One who is the source of both.

Take your time to read this book

This is a very interesting book in which Werner Gitt explores the mystery of time, something that one understands until one is asked about, as Augistin used to say. Gitt opens precisely with the well known dicta from Augustin. The really new element of this book is GITT's proposal of aplication of his five information-theoretic elements of statistics, sintax, semantics, pragmatics and apobetics to time. This strategy, along with the invocation of some of most relevant verses of the Bible on the subject of time, makes this book very precious for those who want to appreciate more this relevant resource that the Creator has made available to us.
